Do you have Disable WooCommerce Bloat plugin installed? There has been on going issue where if you update WooCommerce and have the annoying admin dashboard enabled the WooCommerce Status widget on the home page is not visible until you enable or install the Disable WooCommerce Bloat plugin. I had this issue was trying to figure out why it would disappeared when updating WooCommerce. I no expert with WooCommerce just had this issue a few weeks ago. BTW, hate the new WooCommerce Dashboard.

Hi, I found a workaround that seems to work. Firstly disable Disable WooCommerce Bloat plugin and then update WooCommerce to latest version 5.6.0. I found this would stop the update from crashing your website. I then updated Disable WooCommerce Bloat plugin to the latest version and then reenabled it. I did this on a localhost first and then on my live website. Please backup live website before doing any changes just in case things go wrong. The WooCommerce Status Meta Box us now visible on the WordPress Dashboard. I hope it works for you.

I have this annoying issue for ages. I use Google Drive so I can’t create separate folders for each website. When I do restore all the backups from other websites are listed. I have select all then deselect the backups I do want for the website and delete them but not from Google Drive. That’s my workaround.

I found the issue. I accidentally deleted the two tables created by this plugin on both websites. I deactivated/deleted plugin and reinstalled it and set the Google Places API and Place ID and now is working.

I used WP Optimize tables feature to delete unused tables deleted them by accident. Just be careful when using this plugin.

Issue now resolved.

Sorry it’s been a while since I posted back with issue with UpdraftPlus Backups.

Problem: When I restore a backup with Google Drive, the backup works as expected but the backup process lists all the backups for other sites that have backups in my UpdraftPlus folder in Google Drive. Its’ the same as I if clicked Rescan Remote Storage link. BTW, I did’t click this link. In my case 35 backups for other sites minus their missing log files appear. Luckily, it does not delete the actual Google Drive backups. I have to manually select each non-related backup and delete it manually making sure I do not the select delete remote files in UpdraftPlus. This has happened on any website that I have run a restoration on. I am using WordPress 4.9.8 on all websites as I don’t trust latest Gutenberg Editor in WordPress 5.0. Too many issues. WordPress is becoming a nightmare to maintain. I can’t give you log file as it is deleted when the restoration process is finished.

I tried the latest update Version 3.0.2. All pages load except the home page which hangs with bouncing balls. Disable plugin allows hone to load. I like to upgrade but can’t while isuue remains. Home page loads a popup to prompt website visitors to signup for Newsletter. Had to revert back to Version 2.6.7.6 which works fine. Can’t leave home page in a broken state so I am unable to show screen capture of the issue. No error messages are displayed. Thanks any way.

Hi Andrew,

Disabled Cache Content > Installed new plugin update > Clear WP Fastest Cache and the Accordion now works on Chrome and Firefox.

I generally try to work our issues myself. Problem resolved.

Thank you very much.

Hi Andrew,

The link to my Shared Google folder below contains 4 screen captures that highlight the problem with the new update to Page Builder and the Accordion Widget. I reproduced the problem in Chrome and Firefox. Theme is Sydney which recommends Page Builder.

I hope that demonstrates the problem I am having.

Hi Kharis,

I have implemented the code with the above link.

I can display 6 latest news post summaries on the home page.

Thank you very much.

Tony

Hi Kharis,

I had it set as 9999 in the readings settings which does not make any difference. The Latest News Post Summarizes by default is set to 3 in the fp-latest-news.php file.

Thank you anyway.

Tony

Hi Kharis,

I have added your code to my child theme functions.php file and it works. I reverted the parent theme functions.php file to the original code.

BTW, is there a way to increase the number of posts summaries on the home page. I know you can change it from 3 to 6 but this requires making changes to parent fp-latest-news.php file. I tried to do it in the child theme functions.php but hit a number of error messages so I gave up. I just have to remember to replace the fp-latest-news.php if the Sydney theme is updated. I know its not ideal.

Kind regards
Tony

I found work around open Sydney theme functions.php file search for “masonary” and comment out the following lines:

/* if ( get_theme_mod(‘blog_layout’) == ‘masonry-layout’ && (is_home() || is_archive()) ) {
wp_enqueue_script( ‘sydney-masonry-init’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/masonry-init.js’, array(‘masonry’),”, true );
} */

This will stop the masonry-init.js file from calling masonary.min.js main file.

Kind regards

I made a typo error.

Should be, if rename masonry-init.js.disabled file in the “wp-content/themes/sydney/js” folder, the alignment issue goes away. Just loose the cool effects of elements moving around the page.

Kind regards.

Hi Kharis,

If rename masonry-init.js.disabled file in the “wp-content/themes/sydney/inc” folder, the alignment issue when refreshing Latest News page goes away. There is something in the JavaScript code that has change since the previous version of the Sydney theme.

Kind regards
